I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I am unable to send emails from my Thunderbird email account. There is no "dashboard" or options bar displayed when I hit "reply" to a message. Nor is there such an options bar to create emails.

This is worrisome.

Please advice.

I send a message with large attachments and get the error it exceeds the Secure Attachment Policy. What is that? How do I change it? I used config to edit the config file and increase the size allowed and changed the warning thing to false but nothing works. This just started with the most recent upgrade. 2nd Question: How revert to the older version of Thunderbird? Thanks

Hi I have been using Thunderbird as my email client, which has worked fine. However, after an automatic update of Thunderbird, all my "historical" emails have disappeared and no longer show in my inbox or folders. I located the pop3 directory in roaming/appdata/thunderbird, but have not been able to import the mail file or the directory using either the import feature in thunderbird or the installed importexporttools ng.

I appreciate your help to retrieve my emails.

Hello, Since the update to Thunderbird Supernova from version 102 upwards, emails in several email folders are automatically deleted or hidden. The properties in the respective folders are listed under Retention rules: Do not delete messages.

The emails displayed in the folders no longer correspond to the contents in the folders. Example: A folder displays: 7, properties in the same folder displays: 1226 with 447 MB. It looks similar in the other folders.

How can I ensure that all available emails are displayed in Thunderbird again?

A repair with *.msf does not help.

Many thanks for your support. Erwin

Since the last update my Thunderbird keeps frizzing up and I have to use Task manger to close it and then open it again. This happens all the time! I need this email program to work right.

Thanks Bob Williams

A complete novice, so please keep things simple. I recently changed email host/provider and was advised to back up my existing Thunderbird profile which I did. I have now an Sbd file. I want to reinstall the profile and I have used the import prompts on Thunderbird, but I dont seem to be able to import anything.

At the moment I do not have access to previous emails, addresses etc. Please advise, thanks in advance. Stuart

After moving my thunderbird 104 profile to 115 supernova (including the profiles.ini file), I can see the full list of accounts and folders in supernova, but none of the emails are visible. I can receive and send new messages, but again - none of them are visible when I want to see them later in the inbox or sent folders. Moreover, the right-click mouse button does not work on the whole list of accounts/folders on the left side of the agent. What to do. I have 16Gb of emails and cannot use them.

I've been a Thunderbird user for many years and have always been impressed with its ability to send most spam messages to the junk folder. However, the new version of Thunderbird, while visually appealing, no longer filters spam and I have to send the messages to junk manually. What is wrong with the new version?

When trying to sign messages with thunderbir on debian mails won't deliver.

If they are not signed, it will send smoothly even if they are encrypted.

When I try to send to send an E-mail message I get the message "The mailserver answert : Unable to relay without authentication.. I checked everything also by the provider the settings are OK as far as I can see. Sending mail from my G-mail account is no problem! Hoping you can help me regards P.Rensel

Hello,

I am currently facing difficulties with the automatic configuration of the Thunderbird mail client. I have set up a web server that provides an XML file containing the configuration information, accordingly to what we can see here -> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration:ConfigFileFormat, and the URL of the file is accessible without any problem from my host. However, when I try to configure Thunderbird to automatically retrieve the configuration, it doesn't seem to send an HTTP request to the server. I used wireshark to see what happens here and I can see a DNS request for autoconfig.mydomain and a response with the correct IP, but no HTTP request after that. I used the log console of thunderbird and I get those messages : mail.setup: guessConfig failed: Impossible de trouver un serveur

Here's what I have checked so far:

The configuration XML file has been validated and does not contain any syntax errors. The URL of the XML file is correct and accessible from a web browser. No proxy settings on my system. No firewall rules seems to be blocking my system to access autoconfig. Despite all these checks, I still can't resolve the issue.

If you have encountered a similar problem or have any ideas about what might be causing this behavior, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share them.

Here are some additional details that might be helpful:

Operating System: Windows 11 Thunderbird Version: 115.0.1 (also tested on 102.5.1) The configuration XML file is accessible at this URL: http://autoconfig.<mydomain.com>/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=<username>@<mydomain.com> Error message in the Thunderbird error console: "mail.setup: guessConfig failed: can't find a server"

Thank you in advance for your help !

I'm not able to tag email when email is being viewed since new update.

If I want to tag the email, I have to close the email and tag it in the list of all my emails. Also when an email is open, you can't see that it's been tagged (if it has been).

I have noticed on the latest version of THUNDERBIRD that when I go to delete a number of selected emails from my email account I get popup notification on the top bar that says " ( Thunderbird not responding )". I hadnt noticed this happening before and Thunderbird now seems ...a bit slow.
